            To create and edit content with Trailmaker Content: Create Content
            1. In the Trailmaker Content workspace, click Add Content, and select New Trail.
            2. Enter the trail’s details.
              New trail page, showing the fields for trail art, title, API name, description, and filter picklists
              1. To add trail art, click the icon field (1). Upload an image file or enter a URL to an image file on a content delivery network.
                Note
                Note Use a PNG file smaller than 10 MB. The ideal size for trail art is 200 ×200 pixels. See Guidelines for Images, Screenshots, Badge Art, and Trail Icons.
              2. To specify a custom color for the trail, select a color from the palette. Or, click the dropdown, and use the Custom tab in the color picker window to specify a Hex code or RGB values.
                Note
                Note The color that you select applies to the trail header and the trail icon’s background. To make the icon stand out from the header, Trailmaker implements a color contrast that slightly darkens the header.
              3. Enter a trail title (3).
              4. Accept the suggested API name (4), or enter a unique name that you want to use instead.
                Note
                Note
                • A trail’s API name is used in URLs, so the API name is visible to learners.
                • Each trail API name must be globally unique.
              5. Enter a brief description for the trail (5).
              6. Select the trail’s applicable filters (6).
                • One or more user roles for the trail’s target audience
                • The experience level for the trail’s target audience
                • The product tags that apply to the trail
            3. To add a module to the trail, click Add Module (7). In the Add Module to Trail window, select which option you want to use for adding the module.
              • To create a module in Trailmaker Content, select Create a module. Complete the steps in Create a Module in Trailmaker Content.
              • To add an existing module that’s already in your workspace, select Add a module from your workspace. Then, search for the module name to add, and click Done.
              • To add a module by referencing its API name, select Add a module by API name. Then, enter the exact API name for the module to add, and click Done. Referencing by API name is useful for creating a trail that references modules that don’t exist in the current writer’s workspace, such as:
                • Modules that have already been published on your enablement site.
                • Modules that you plan to create and add in the same release as the trail.
                • Modules that other writers create in their own workspaces and add to the same release.
              Tip
              Tip
              • If you specify a module that's already published on your enablement site, the module appears in the trail after you publish.
              • If you specify a module that hasn't been published on your enablement site, make sure that you add the module and the trail to the same release before you publish.

            If you’re collaborating with other content creators on the trail before you’re ready to publish it, download the trail’s backpack, and submit it to your company’s version control system. Then, delete the trail from your local workspace. When your collaborator is finished, you can import the most recent version of the trail’s backpack.

            Note
            Note To preview a trail, launch the full release preview from the Trailmaker Release app. The Trailmaker Content preview is compatible only with modules.

            If you’re ready, a user with the Manage Releases permission can add the trail to an unpublished release.
